2012 YoungGuns International Awards calls for entries now open - professional awards deadline Fri October 19, student awards Fri November 9

Calls for entries for the 2012 YoungGuns International Awards are now open.

To be eligible for a YoungGuns Professional Award (Advertising, Digital, Design, Media, PR), you or one of your team must have been born after November 25, 1981. Teams are eligible as long as one person is born after November 25, 1981.

This year YoungGuns is providing young and emerging talent the
opportunity to get more of their work into YoungGuns for free. Young and
emerging talent can back themselves or a friend with YoungGuns 2012 "20
Guns of the People".

The
top 20 voted (professionals and students) by the people will
automatically be entered into YGAward2012; the premier award for global
young talent in advertising, digital, design, PR; and students. Young
and emerging talent can prove their self-belief right, get the
recognition they deserve and who knows what else. For those already
working maybe a pay rise; a bigger office; an expense account?; and for
students maybe the job at THE agency they have always wanted.

A special
Black Bullet trophy will be awarded for the No.1 peoples' choice
(professional and student) - the most voted. Just a little something
extra that can be casually waved around in any discussion with bosses
about the future; or job interviews.

LAUNCH is a YoungGuns
initiative connecting students and graduates with creative organizations
who want the best emerging talent. For any more details on YGAward or
Launch, please contact Livia via email here.
